The ancient art of reading someone's palm has always been among
a the most popular ways of
foretelling the future. After all, you don't have to believe it,
and the best ng about it is that it doesn't require a lot
of time or expensive equipment either. But many are skeptical
that palm rea ng has any scientific basis at
all what could be more ridiculous than the idea that our future
can be predicted from the random lines and
creases on our hands? Cynics claim that palmists
use other clues to gain their "ama ng"insights. In other
words, the more experienced and observant the reader is,
the better they become at not ng ngs which
help them to "predict"the future. While the more cynical
the "victim"is, the less likely they are to believe a word of it!
However, scientists at the University of Barcelona
have discovered that palmistry may have some basis in
scientific truth. Having compared the palms of 140 children,
they discovered that the more arches and loops
children have on their palms, the more likely they are
to be intellectually impaired. And the existence of
a Simian line — a rare crease across the palm—
appears to be one of the most reliable indicators of
mental deficiency. This may be connected with events between
the thirteenth and eighteenth weeks of pregnancy,a
crucial time for brain development and the period when fingerprints
are formed. So maybe there is some truth in
what the palm reader says and there is no ng more guaranteed to
cheer you up than the news that you are about
to meet a tall dark stranger (55) w will change your life for the better.
